would be in the least injured by the
creation of the new county.
3. That Cascade county as defined
has sufficient wealth and population
to warrant it's creation and that the
taxes necessary for its maintenance
will not be greater than they r now,
the safeguards incorporated in the
bill being a guarantee of this.
The whole case is involved in these
propositions. Has there been an at

or by anybody else, to show that they
are not well taken2 Il SO, .eye hath

our friends of the kicking minority
have any good and sufficient argu-
ments to offer why the measure
should not prevail, they manage to
keep them very shady.
But they tell US it is a scheme in
the interest of the Great Falls Water
Power & Townsite Company and
portray the evils likely to follow if
power is put in to the hands of this
incorporation. Their whole course Of
procedure is an appeal to prejudice
rather than to the judgment and is
worthy of the best efforts Of Herr
Most and his disciples.
The TRIBUNE does not believe that
the honorable members of the legisla-
ture will look with disfavor upon the
fact that j. J. Hill, Col. Broadwater,
Paris Gibson and others have invest
ed their money in this section and are
aiding to such a wonderful extent in
developing the resources of northern
Montana and the entire territory. IL
the fact that this company have in
terests in Great Falls is to operate
against the organization Of a new
county or is in any way to count
against the measure, we might as we'll
put out our sign at once that no out
side capitals wanted in the develop
ment of the rare resources of Mon
tana! We have too much confidence
in the fairness and good Judgment Of
the members of the legislature to
suppose for a moment that they will
give weight to such an appeal to sup
posed prejudices, when there is nei-
Their reason nor argument to support
the opposition.

NO GOOD OBJECTION

We have before us the three alleg-
ed newspapers Of northern Montana
that are in their different ways offer
ing opposition to the Cascade county
bill. We have scanned them closely
and have not yet seen in all their col
umns a single good reason why the
county measure should not prevail.
The TRIBUNE has shown indisputably
the correctness OF the following pro
positions:

CONRAUS

The most notable Conversion thathas
taken place in northern Montana, for
some time, is that ofC. e. and W. G.
Conrad on the Cascade county ques-
ton. Only a few. weeks ago these
gentlemen were entirely Indifferent
to the formation of Cascade county,
and rumor has it that one OF them
promised his support of the measure
to Col. Broadwater, which we conf
IDENTIFY believe to be the case. Now a
sudden change has come over them,
and SO hostile have they become to the
Cascade bill that one Of them puts on
his war paint and after telegraphing
the house of representatives to wait
for his coming, starts off for Helena
in the rain and over almost impassa-
bic roads. What new light has SO
suddenly dawned upon the minds of
these brothers, changing them from
a condition of the utmost indifference
to that of intense zeal to defeat Cas-
cade county?
The only plausible reason that can
be given is the able argument of ".
Ell. Todd in the River Press, showing
that Cascade county is really the child
of the Manitoba Railroad Company.
Believing this, the Conrad brothers,
although recipients OF many favors
from the Manitoba company, the
present season, to the exclusion of
other worthy men, have arrayed
themselves against this horrible mon
opoly that would own and control a
whole county. The fact that the lead
ing business houses of Fort Benton
have always opposed monopolies is
well known throughout this part Of
Montana.
The bill introduced by Councilman
Collins to create the Office of commits
sioner of immigration is one that
should receive attention from the
Legislature. Without knowing the
provisions or details of the bill we
can say on general principles that the
proposition involved is ar excellent
one. Montana ought to make known
her wealth, capabilities and resources
to the outside world and the most eff
fective way to accomplish this result
is through an officer such as is con
templated in the bill to which refer
ence is made.

was deemed best to dispense with ALL display
as an act Of courtesy toward the dead states

Told Of Cats.

The cat was originally brought from
Persia, and was unknown to Pliny and
the Roman writer's. It was formerly
the trick of the English countryman to
substitute a cat for sucking-pig, and
bring it to market in bag; so that he
without careful examination, made a
hasty bargain, was said to buy pig in a
poke, and a discovery Of this cheat gave
rise to the expression of letting the cat
out Of the bag.

a Liver Throat.

One Of the most admired performers
in sensational drama recently pro-
duced in Cincinnati was a big bulldog
that at a critical point in the play came
bounding out, and. seizing the villain
by the throat or thereabouts, hung on
like grim death, amid uproarious
applause. The other night he grabbed
his man as usual, but something gave
way, and the dog fell near the foot
lights. and then he stood there and
calmly ate big piece of liver which
had been fastened under the villains
throat, and had hitherto been the
incentive for the dogs exertion.

Newspaper readers will remember
the notorious Bender family, and their
peculiar if not mysterious disappearance
is now explained in the following
narrative made public at st. Louis.
Paul Belts says that late in the
seventies he was called to see an ac-
quaintance who was dying in Kansas
City hotel. The man wished to tell
him about the fate of the Benders. the
family that murdered so many tray-
elcrs. He exacted pledge that Mr..
Belts would not reveal the story while
his informant's wife lived. He said
the Benders were lynched by vigil
ance committee. They were all hang
ed except Kate Bender. who fought SO
hard they could not get the rope
around her neck, and SO she
was shot. The following year the sto-
ry was confirmed by Kansas farmer
living near the Benders. The farmer
said:
did it never occur to you that it
was very strange that SO many mur-
derers as there were in the Bender
family. and such stupid people as they
were, could escape from the keenest
detectives in the world. who will fol-
low their game into the furtherest parts
of the wcrld and capture them? How do
folks think that such gang could get
away in country where every man,
woman, and child knows everyb .dy
else and everybody's horses and wagons?
No. sir: if any one wants what there is
left OF the Benders they will have to 60
over into the Indian Territory. They
stretched hemp there, al but Kate.
II tell you, man, she was bad one.
She screamed and bit and cursed and
kicked SO that one could put the rope
around her neck. So some one cracked
her skull for her with stick. and an
other one put bullet or two through
he. brain.
Mr.. Belts has not felt free to tell the
story until the present time.
